Villa Leonardo – beautifully decorated two double bedroom apartment. Secluded courtyard with swimming pool! Within easy walking distance to the town of Bucchianico, the tranquil location of Villa Leonardo is ideal for couples, families or groups of friends to get away from it all and is conveniently located near to beaches, mountains and national parks.

The apartment has an open plan lounge/kitchen diner with patio doors leading to a private balcony with 'bistro' table and chairs. Bedroom 1 also has its own private balcony with table and chairs whilst the second double room can alternate as a twin. A camp-bed is provided for a fifth guest if required.

Guests have access to a large sun terrace and a tranquil courtyard both of which have amazing views across the countryside.

Additional Location Information

Perfect rural location with the town of Bucchianico only 800m away. Sandy, blue flag beaches are just 19km away. Traveling south along the Costa dei Trabocchi you come upon more rugged shingle beaches.

The area is popular with travellers all year round: summer on the beach, winter on the ski slopes and at any time there are many opportunities for outdoor activites such as hiking, biking and climbing. For those who want to take it easy the area is rich in history and has an abundance of local winerys and farms where one can visit and sample the local produce.

The historic town of Chieti is only a 10min drive away. The vibrant city of Pescara is 25km away. Many other mountain villages are easily accessible.

Abruzzo has 15 ski resorts, the nearest one to Villa Leonardo is Passo Lanciano 29 km away, on a clear day some ski runs can be seen from the villa!! Popular with locals and significantly cheaper than the more publicized alpine resorts.

“Home from Home”

Left on 10/16/2012 for a stay in September 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 16, 2012Stayed Sep 2012

Ideal location to chill out and enjoy the beautiful views from every balcony.Enjoyed the local culture hospitality, food and wine.Good fun trying to communicate with the locals who spoke very little english and our Italian was just the same.Frankie and Joe did give us key phrases however when you have 3 English,1 Irish and the local "wine" together, attempting to speak Italian is a lot of fun.This was a great talking point when we got home lots
of laughter when we reflected with friends and family on our return home. Thanks to Joe & Frankie for a lovely
holiday and wish them every seccess for the future. We look forward to returning Villa Leonardo and visiting local cantena to experience the cheese, wine and hospitality. Ciao x

“Great place to stay!”

Had a very enjoyable stay at Villa Leonardo. The owners; Joe & Frankie were helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. I wasn't too sure how it would be having the owners on site but it was actually fine! None of us had been to abruzzo so the advice and tips were incredibly useful.
The apartment itself is spacious and clean and clearly very new.
The location is great and we totally fell in love with abruzzo itself.
Joe gave us some of his homegrown tomatoes and melon which were both delicious. I heard rumours that a pool is on its way and I think that will be a very enjoyable addition to an already lovely place to be.

Hi Helen, thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and delighted that you liked the homegrown produce. There is indeed a plunge pool on the way and will be functional for spring/summer 2013, Joe Is currently creating the courtyard area where it will be installed. Thanks, Frankie & Joe

“A very nice get-away”

Left on 09/06/2012 for a stay in August 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Sep 6, 2012Stayed Aug 2012

Beautiful apartment, with a great view of Chieti and surroundings, as well as of the Grand Sasso and the Majella. Frankie and Joe are very welcoming and helpful, they gave us great dining tips! Very nice terrace, if one decides to spend a quiet day reading and relaxing away from everything.

Sevdalina, thanks for your review. We are delighted that you found Villa Leonardo relaxing......in fact we are continally improving and as mentioned to you during your stay we are currently creating a courtyard where we will install a plunge pool ready for 2013.......even more relaxation opportunities. We are also regularly adding to our tips on where to go and where to eat so you should have even more options on your next visit. We hope to see you again soon. best wishes, Frankie & Joe.

“Must visit”

Left on 07/18/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jul 18, 2012Stayed Jul 2012

This is a comfortable and good equipped apartment with beautiful views. The villa is located in a quiet place at about 20km from beaches. The place is ideal for exploring the abruzzo region and relaxing on the beaches. Owners are very pleasant and hospitable.

Frankie and Joe, thank you for the great vacation we had in your villa.
